I am trying to follow the instructions for installing these kernels, but
there is clearly something wrong.
Firstly the installs all fail with the following known bug:
bcmwl-kernel-source 6.30.223.248+bdcom-0ubuntu1: bcmwl kernel module
failed to build [error: macro "alloc_netdev" requires 4 arguments, but
only 3 given] Edit
Ubuntu
“bcmwl” package

Bug #1358966
This is obviously a simple error which could be fixed in a minute. I
suspect it is the failed installation that causes the resulting system
boot kernel panic because of a missing init.
Secondly when I issue the specified command in the web page to remove
the 3.18 headers and kernel the following happens:
sudo apt-get remove linux-headers-3.18* linux-image-3.18*

The link /vmlinuz.old is a damaged link
Removing symbolic link vmlinuz.old
you may need to re-run your boot loader[grub]
The link /initrd.img.old is a damaged link
Removing symbolic link initrd.img.old
you may need to re-run your boot loader[grub]
In other words the command removed every kernel EXCEPT the broken 3.18
kernel! So the partition I am using to test 3.18 is now unbootable. I
have had to reinstall Ubuntu 14.10 from the DVD.
Please fix the installation of 3.18 and get back to me. I will not try
anything more until I get a clean installation.
